Winfred Yavi
This will be a historic race and I am really glad to be part of it. I am expecting a really beautiful competition and my eyes are fixed on doing well. I have really prepared well for this race with my coaches and I am looking forward to doing them and my family proud. It will be a very fast race but I can’t predict the times.
Yavi will compete in the race alongside Kenya’s Celestine Biwott and Ethiopia’s Wosane Asefa.
